Chapter 122 A person’s account

    This time in Heng Yunxing is the deepest and coldest morning in the night.But the dark night above the capital was being illuminated by blazing artillery fire, like a hot iron.

    The entire palace was plunged into a bloody cloud, with fierce gunfire, curses, and screams everywhere.There is a coup taking place outside now, a forced palace.

    The Third Army rebelled.

    Before Huo Chao's video appeared, a large number of troops surrounded the palace.When Huo Chao's video came out and His Majesty the Emperor had just declared war on the Huan Shen Cult, they finally had a slogan of justice.

    In the past few months, Pei Changyun deliberately did not reply to Cetrin's slander on the Internet, and made a certain counterattack, but he did not fully counterattack, just to wait.Wait for the hidden ghost to come out on its own.

    After all, he didn't believe that the church wanted to overthrow him based on just a few words from Cetrin.So there are still many, many ghosts hidden within the empire.Pei Changyun originally planned to arrest them slowly, but he already had a list of names in his hand.But I didn't expect that the other party would tear off the mask so quickly, revealing the fox tail.

    It seems that something happened in Mingcheng, which made the Huan Shen Sect panic.

    But at this time, neither the church nor the rebels who were forcing the palace knew that Pei Changyun had secretly left with the royal fleet and quickly headed for the Holy Dew Planet.

    Because it was a secret operation, Pei Changyun temporarily turned on the signal shielding in the direction of Shenglu Star, so he did not receive any news from Huo Xianfeng.He is now quietly watching the downloaded video of Huo Chao's resurrection from the dead.

    Over and over again.

    His Majesty the Emperor does not seem to care about everything bloody at this moment, does not care about his extremely dangerous situation and situation, does not care about the overwhelming doubts and abuses on the star network... At this moment, Pei Changyun just stared at the video quietly and unblinkingly.That person's face.

    Three hundred years later, Pei Changyun finally looked at that person so carefully again.He had never taken the initiative to look at anything related to Huo Chao before. He didn't dare to take the initiative to touch it without looking at that person's photos or things, or even recalling them.

    But Pei Changyun had to see it now, had to feel the raging memories like a flood that broke through the gate, roaring and swallowing him up.

    ——Because that is indeed Huo Chao's face.

    Exactly.

    Even that person's habit of breaking up sentences, his preference for pronunciation, and the stress of each sentence are all the same.

    The living Huo Chao, he was standing there, with a heartbeat and breathing.

    In fact, for a moment, Pei Changyun hoped that all this was true.As long as Huo Chao really came back to life, no matter what that person said about him, it was okay.

    It’s okay, it doesn’t matter.

    But Pei Changyun knew that was not the case. Even if every part and every detail of that person was a perfect 100% copy of that person, he was not Huo Chao, but a fake that looked very, very similar.

    Because Huo Chao wouldn't say that to him.

    Huo Chao will not use false words to slander anyone.

    "..."

    Pei Changyun closed his eyes deeply. He tightened the clothes on his chest and frowned little by little, as if he was trying his best to endure something.Maybe it’s to endure missing, or maybe it’s to endure pain.

    But he didn't make a sound, not even a breath.

    It wasn't until he was about to suffocate that Pei Changyun opened his eyes. His breathing was rapid, his dark green pupils kept shrinking, and he finally suppressed countless turbulent emotions.

    A long time passed, until the sky turned slightly white, and the sound of gunfire outside gradually disappeared.

    "Long dream."

    "yes."

    A mellow and soft mechanical sound sounded in the room.

    Generally speaking, B-level manually controlled mechas are not equipped with highly intelligent AI, but at Huo Chao's request, Jiang Jinsheng installed one specifically for Pei Changyun. Later, when the empire was established, Changmeng was re-upgraded and directlyConnected to the mastermind of the capital's defense system.

    "How is the situation in the capital?"

    "Basically as you expected, Your Majesty, the specific situation..."

    After a pause, Chang Meng seemed to have received some signal.

    "Secretary-General Zhao He requests to communicate with you."

    This is a newly created secret communication channel, so messages can be received.

    "catch."

    The next second, the secretary-general in a black mechanical suit was projected. Zhao He looked cold and solemn, with unknown blood spattered on the side of his face.Although he holds the civilian position of secretary-general, Zhao He was born in the army and is an alpha soldier who can kill and fight.

    "His Majesty!"

    There was still a bit of bloody anger between his brows, but when he looked at Pei Changyun, he still lowered his head subconsciously, showing a respectful and excited expression.

    "We have roughly brought the situation inside the palace under control. We have arrested more than half of the people on the list who had an affair with the church. A few of them had too good noses and ran away early, and our people are still chasing them. As for the work of appeasing the people, the relevant departments have alsoIt is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the scheduled arrangements..."

    "Um."

    This answer is barely good news for Pei Changyun.

    Zhao He gritted his teeth and spoke harshly,

    "Time is too short, and there are still some guys buried deeper that have not been dug out, so we have to kill a few first."

    "Don't be in a hurry for success, Zhao He."

    At this moment, Pei Changyun seemed to have returned to the calm and majestic Emperor.

    "Do the things at hand first, and don't cause any problems while I'm away."

    Zhao He was suddenly shocked,

    "yes!"

    However, he still wanted to dissuade him again,

    "Your Majesty, do you want more..." Bring more troops.

    Or, don't go to Saint Dew, it's better to stay in the safety of Heng Yun.

    But no one could change Pei Changyun's decision, so the secretary-general only said half of what he said.Because at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor succeeded in silencing him with just a glance.

    "Zhao He, you seem to be questioning me lately."

    His Majesty the Emperor narrowed his eyes casually,

    "What? After you found out that I was a beta, did you start to have the self-superiority of an alpha?"

    boom!

    The secretary-general immediately knelt down, hitting his forehead heavily on the ground, and large beads of cold sweat poured down his face.

    Pei Changyun was indeed a beta, but his ability to suppress countless genetically powerful alphas was not due to pheromones or muscle force, but to the supreme imperial authority honed over hundreds of years from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

    The murderous ferocity and power and majesty oozing from his bones are the source of admiration and awe for countless alphas.

    "Now go and do your part."

    Pei Changyun didn't give him a chance to explain. He just gave him an ultimatum in a cold voice.

    "If there is another time, Zhao He, you won't have any chance to appear in my sight."

    "……yes."

    Buzz——

    Communication is closed.

    Changmeng’s voice appeared again——

    "Your Majesty, you know that's not what he meant."

    Pei Changyun closed his eyes.

    "Ok, I know."

    Of course he knew that his hand-picked confidants would never have any dissent.He also knew that Zhao He meant that it was extremely dangerous for him to go to the Holy Dew Star, and he only brought a small royal fleet with him. Once he was ambushed, the consequences would be disastrous.

    Pei Changyun knew that he had never doubted his vision, but what he needed now was absolute authority, not care and worry.

    That kind of thing...he no longer needs it.

    His Majesty the Emperor did not intend to continue this topic. After the brief surge of emotions was suppressed, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the war that had already begun.

    "How was the effect of the declaration of war?"

    Before Pei Changyun left Hengyun Star, he used the capital signal to issue a declaration of war speech.There are two purposes, one is to let the Illusion God Religion discover that he has been forced to lose his mind, and the other is to create the illusion that he is still in Hengyun Star.

    Because he wanted to achieve the former effect, Pei Changyun only expressed doubts about the resurrected Huo Chao, but did not respond to the others, focusing on declaring war.The results he personally expected would not be very good, and he was prepared not to be trusted by the people.

    However, Changmeng’s reply has not come yet.

    "...?"

    Pei Changyun frowned, thinking there was some unexpected problem, and his expression immediately became nervous.

    "What's wrong?"

    "The effect...is a bit strange."

    I don’t know how to describe the long dream, it passes through some

    "Your Majesty, your popular support statistics broke the historical record ten minutes ago."

    Although it is an imperial system, Pei Changyun also retains some alliance-specific systems, such as public support statistics.The calculation mechanism of this system is very complex, but relatively speaking, it is fair and representative.

    "——Three times the amount during the Marshal Huo Chao alliance."

    Pei Changyun's personal data had never surpassed Huo Chao's before this.

    His Majesty the Emperor: "...?"

    What is this development???

    Pei Changyun's first reaction was that their empire's star network system had also been invaded, or something went wrong.

    "what happened?"

    "Looking for the reason..."

    Chang Meng searched around and seemed to find something.

    "Your Majesty, there is a private Xingbo account... which has been hotly searched on the All Star Network. It seems to be related to Marshal Huo Chao. According to statistics, the number of fans of this Xingbo account has increased from zero to the current number in just a few hours.Three hundred million."

    The relationship between Xingbo and Xingwang is probably similar to the relationship between a social application software and the entire empire's virtual network.The former may only be used by a small number of people, but the latter is something that people across the empire cannot live without every day.

    This is equivalent to people all over the country looking at someone's Xingbo account at the same time and having a heated discussion.

    "?"

    Pei Changyun was surprised. He had never been exposed to entertainment software, so he didn't know much about it.

    But it is no small matter to be on the hot search on the All-Star Network. You must know that the hot searches on the All-Star Network a few hours ago were such huge things as #Huochaoresurrection# and #EmpireDeclaresWar on the Illusionary God Religion.

    He frowned, feeling that things were not simple.

    "What's the Xingbo number? Bring it up and let me take a look."

    The next second, a huge picture was projected in His Majesty the Emperor's private study.It was someone's Xingbo homepage. The avatar was a hand-drawn Q-print, with the newborn Asahi hidden in the clouds.

    The ID is called "Xiao Yunyun, why are you ignoring me today?"

    Below is a long list of fan numbers, which are still rising rapidly in real time.

    At this time, Chang Meng directly contacted the official Xingbo operator with the emperor's authority and confirmed the identity of the Xingbo account.

    "Your Majesty, this account is confirmed to be that of Marshal Huo Chao. There are real-name authentication and original facial recognition records in the background."

    And at this time, the Xingbo operator immediately seized this wave of traffic and directly added a shiny golden Marshal Huo Chao certified V mark to the account that had nothing.

    Pei Changyun: "..."

    He suddenly had a bad premonition.But His Majesty the Emperor didn’t quite understand this thing, so he scratched it casually and happened to see one——

    Why is Xiao Yunyun ignoring me today: "Ah ah ah! Really, this guide is amazing! It's really useful!! I've practiced it myself and it's definitely effective!!! I'm happy to share it with everyone [love] [love] [love]"

    Below is a series of invalid purchase links, but you can still see the words: "Love Book" is limited to 99.99.

    "For six months, let him, the most cold and ruthless man in the world, be devoted to you until death!"

    The few hot comments that were pushed to the top of the comment area were early passerby comments at that time——

    "It's a brush, right? How much advertising fee did you charge? Does anyone believe this kind of rubbish strategy?"

    "Such a crude strategy... the person being pursued is too miserable."

    "This piece of shit is nearly a hundred yuan, and I won't even buy it for nine yuan!"

    But further down the line, the comment trend changed.

    “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh aa a copy of Marshal Huo Chao’s same style of “Love Book”!

    "Help, it's so awesome! It's so awesome! I also want to own the "Book of Love" that will keep His Majesty the Emperor a widow for three hundred years!!!"

    "Why! Why is the purchase link invalid!!! Is the manufacturer still alive?! Print a million more copies immediately!!! Don't make me kneel down and beg you!!!"

    Pei Changyun: "..."

    He remained expressionless and continued to scroll down.

    Human nature is to gossip. At this time, any war slander was no longer important. Everyone's attention was focused on the revelation of the shocking love affair between the Marshal and His Majesty the Emperor.

    "What collusion with the Zerg, what deliberate seduction, it's just nonsense! It was obviously Marshal Huo Chao who caught up with the love book, okay?!!!"

    "Am I the only one who wants to know who Marshal Huo Chao is talking about, Xiao Feng? There are actually people in this world who can make Marshal Huo Chao lose every time."

    "Hahahahahahaha, help, I'm laughing so hard. Why is it that Marshal Huo Chao is either being beaten by Xiao Feng every day or chasing Xiao Yunyun!!!"

    "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Am I the only one who feels sorry for Xiao Yunyun who has been a widow for three hundred years? How lonely it must be late at night, even though beta shouldn't have much need in that regard?"

    Pei Changyun: "..."

    Twenty minutes later, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't stand it anymore and closed the Xingbo page directly. His whole body stiffened, his forehead twitched wildly, and after a few seconds of forced endurance with an expressionless face, he finally couldn't help gritting his teeth——

    "Huo! Chao!"

    All the sadness that Pei Changyun felt just now suddenly disappeared because he was too embarrassed.

    What a shame!!!

    Pei Changyun has never been so embarrassed in his life. His Majesty the Emperor's face was completely humiliated by that fool Huo Chao, but he was still humiliated in front of the people of the whole country.

    "Your Majesty, the space jump is about to begin. Please take defensive measures."

    "……good."

    Three hundred years have passed, and the empire has made some achievements in space shuttle devices, although it cannot directly shuttle to fixed points and time, or even transport large numbers of troops, like the Illusion God Religion.But it is no problem to achieve a short-distance light-year jump, but the channels are limited and can only transport small fleets, not large battleships and aircraft carriers like the First Army.

    This is also the reason why Pei Changyun only brought a small royal fleet.

    When preparing to start the space jump, Changmeng briefly lifted the signal shield, and then received the video file from Forbidden Abyss.

    "Your Majesty, do you want to upload it to the Star Network?"

    "...pass it on."

    Even if Huo Xianfeng doesn't give this video, Huo Chao's Xingbo account has been exposed. Now that the matter is over, let Xiaofeng also show it to everyone.

    After all, Xiao Feng’s appearance in the “Why is Xiao Yunyun ignoring me today” star blog is no less than Xiao Yunyun’s.

    Since society is going to die, let’s all join together.His Majesty the Emperor has broken the jar.

    One person's stardom creates the social life of three people.

    In fact, the original Xingbo account could not suppress all the doubts, because the things in the Xingbo were just daily life, and there were still many doubts about the Zerg and what happened back then that could not be explained.

    "The Xingbo account can also be faked, how can Marshal Huo Chao have such a stupid character!"

    "Then how do you explain the live Marshal Huo Chao in the live broadcast?"

    "Pei Changyun is so disgusting. He actually used this method to clear his name. Do you think this can erase the fact that the Zerg invaded back then?!"

    "..."

    But the appearance of Jin Yuan and Huo Xianfeng is the real counterattack and evidence.

    I have to say that Pei Changyun could tell at a glance that although Huo Xianfeng's sentences were short, every word was focused on the key points.In addition to the cp-eating people, there are more technical emperors and analytical emperors coming out.

    This wave of top-level traffic attracted everyone’s attention and allowed more people to seize the opportunity.

    One analysis post after another began to overwhelm the water-injected black material——

    Xiaofeng's identity corresponded to that of Huo Xianfeng, the king of the Zerg tribe.

    The Zerg are seeking revenge, not invasion, which just corroborates the Huan Shen Cult's statement that Huo Chao was from the church, so he was able to get acquainted with the injured King Insect inside.

    As for Huo Chaoxingbo account, only Xiaofeng, who is closest to him, knows about it.Even in Cetrin's words, Pei Changyun's slander about the Forbidden Abyss given by King Chong in order to please the King Chong was not proven. The Forbidden Abyss was the one Huo Chao took the initiative to transfer control over.

    …

    Perhaps the Huan Shen Cult never imagined that they had spent hundreds of years of hard work to finally obtain Huo Chao's genes, and then they made clones non-stop, and carefully wrote several inflammatory articles.Push the fake Huo Chao and the former alliance speaker in front of everyone.

    However, as soon as the dirty water was poured out, it was washed away by Huo Chao's Xingbo trumpet and Huo Xianfeng's few words.

    A few hours ago, Marshal Huo Chao came back from the dead. His Majesty the Emperor angrily declared war. The people of the empire were panicked and felt that the world was about to change.But a few hours later, people across the empire were happily eating melons.

    ——The world is so unpredictable.

    Even the old academicians in the Central Temple were unable to avoid gossip at this moment.After all, unlike the people far away in the empire, they knew who was the first to expose Huo Chao's trumpet.

    They originally thought that the cooperation between the empire and the Zerg was some kind of deal between Pei Changyun and Huo Xiangfeng, but now it seems that Huo Xianfeng and Huo Chao are closely related.

    But now is obviously not the time to ask. In just a few hours, the other party launched a total of four or five long-range attacks.Originally, they all thought that there would be a direct war, but the other party simply launched a large number of missile groups and various long-range weapons.

    "Now it seems that there is no need to deploy a defensive barrier. We can use satellites to intercept the missile group."

    Jiang Ci and the teachers calculated Mingcheng's current energy reserves and prepared to sort out and report the situation to Zhou Jiuya.

    "The energy consumption of the defensive barrier is too high. It has not been able to be closed some time ago. It has used up one-third of the energy of the entire Mingcheng in one week. That is enough for all the mecha warships of the entire First Legion to use for a month..”

    Because the First Army Corps is now cut off from material transportation with the empire, fortunately, Mingcheng itself is a military factory, so there is no need to worry about material and energy reserves for the time being.But if you want to support subsequent large-scale wars, you must plan to use it.

    "But it's strange. Now they are just using long-range attacks as a test?"

    Jiang Ci thinks this doesn't make sense, because this temptation is meaningless.At this time, Huo Xianfeng's voice suddenly entered the central temple,

    "No, their troops came during the third round of missile bombing, but they withdrew again halfway."

    "how do you know?"

    Jiang Ci was surprised,

    "We have been monitoring with satellite radar and have not found anything..."

    Speaking of this, he suddenly fell silent.

    Because the next second, the Forbidden Abyss transmitted back the picture of the Huan Shen Cult army, and they seemed to be in a hurry to return home.

    "Satellites are not very reliable. Zerg scouts discovered a large number of metal energy fluctuations and have now tracked them."

    The satellite is the satellite of the Huan Shen Cult. They thought they had control of it, but is it possible that the other party asked them to get it on purpose?After all, if the church gave up on Mingcheng so easily, there was no way it wouldn't leave behind some back-ups.

    Jiang Ci grasped the key point: "You also followed it?!"

    "No, I just asked Jin Yuan to take a remote picture at that time."

    Probably because he overturned the car last time when he entered the Holy White Tower rashly, Huo Xianfeng's behavior is a little more stable now.

    "I have the coordinates of the Holy Relic White Tower. Their return direction should not be from the Holy Relic White Tower. This army should have a second base. It's just the reason why he turned back halfway that concerned me."

    "——Probably because the coup launched in the palace a few hours ago failed."

    Zhou Jiuya strode into the central temple. He had been paying attention to the situation of Heng Yun Star. Naturally, he also knew what great changes had taken place in the empire in the past few hours.

    Huo Xianfeng instantly grasped the key point and frowned.

    "You mean they originally planned to attack Mingcheng when they forced Pei Changyun into the palace?"

    "right."

    ——That makes sense.

    Huo Xianfeng nodded.

    Zhou Jiuya closed his eyes, feeling deeply afraid, because at this moment, he could roughly see the extremely insidious killing move of the Huan Shen Cult.

    Huo Chao's video first caused chaos in the entire empire, and then directly forced Pei Changyun into the palace. Pei Changyun may not be able to protect himself in the face of overwhelming doubts and the rebels waving the banner of justice.

    And if the First Army had not appeared and suppressed Huo Xianfeng just now, they would have directly faced the war without preparation.

    With the military morale in chaos, they are likely to lose.

    Huo Xianfeng raised his eyebrows.

    "That's no problem. Once we find their base, we'll hit them!"

    Jiang Ci: "..."

    He was about to say something, but at this time, Noila came in again carrying Dr. Wen in her left hand and dragging several large medical testing instruments in her right hand.

    "Huahua~I'm back~"

    When she brought Dr. Wen here for the first time just now, she was too anxious and brought someone without tools. Dr. Wen had a hard time explaining it to the little girl.

    So Noila nodded and went back to get it by herself, but she didn’t quite understand, so she came back to carry Dr. Wen back and choose.

    Dr. Wen: "..."

    All in all, it was a difficult new experience.

    At that time, Jiang Ci thought that war was coming and had no time to care.It was only now that he saw the loving Uncle Wen showing an expression of unworthiness for the first time.

    "Come...come here, Ah Ci."

    Dr. Wen's voice was weak.

    "I...I'll give you...a checkup..."

    Jiang Ci: "..."

    sorry.
